This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding our ability to locate and acquire an operating business and the resources and efforts we intend to dedicate to such an endeavor, our development of a viable business plan and commencement of operations, and our ability to locate sources of capital necessary to commence operations or otherwise meet our business needs and objectives. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this report, including statements regarding our future financial position, liquidity, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “could,” “target,” “potential,” “is likely,” “will,” “expect” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

The results anticipated by any or all of these forward-looking statements might not occur.

We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Description of Business
Arax Holdings Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on February 23, 2012 with a business plan to sell hot dogs from mobile hot dog stands throughout the major cities in Mexico. As of the filing of the 10K for 2016, the Company stated that it was re-evaluating its business plan.
We have been dormant from May 2005 through October 31, 2020. As of the date of this Report, we intend to engage in what we believe to be synergistic acquisitions or joint ventures with a company or companies that we believe will enhance our business plan. There are no assurances we will be able to consummate any acquisitions using our securities as consideration, or at all. Numerous things will need to occur to allow us to implement this aspect of our business plan and there are no assurances that any of these developments will occur, or if they do occur, that we will be successful in fully implementing our plan.
On December 30, 2020, as a result of a custodianship in Clark County, Nevada, Case Number: A-20-825346-B, Custodian Ventures LLC (“Custodian”) was appointed custodian of the Company. On the same date, Custodian appointed David Lazar as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors.
On June 24, 2021, as a result of a private transaction, 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Shares") of Arax Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), were transferred from Custodian Ventures, LLC to Michael Pieter Loubser (the “Purchaser”). As a result, the Purchaser became an approximately 90.6% holder of the voting rights of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully-diluted basis of the Company, and became the controlling shareholder. In connection with the transaction, David Lazar released the Company from all debts owed to him and/or Custodian Ventures, LLC.
On June 24, 2021, the existing director and officer resigned immediately. Accordingly, David Lazar, serving as a director and an officer, ceased to be the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer, Secretary and a Director. At the effective date of the transfer, Michael Pieter Loubser consented to act as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, Ockert Cornelius Loubser consented to act as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Rastislav Vašička consented to act as the new Chief Information Officer of the Company.
On August 31st, 2021, the Company appointed Christopher D. Strachan as its Chief Financial Officer. The Company began a transition into a software and technology holding company, negotiating agreements with various technology companies in Europe to acquire some of their related assets. The Company is actively working to remove the shell status and has commenced operations.

Competition and Market Conditions
We will face substantial competition in our efforts to identify and pursue a business venture. The primary source of competition is expected to be from other companies organized and funded for similar purposes, including small venture capital firms, blank check companies, and wealthy investors, many of which may have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. In light of our limited financial and human resources, we are at a competitive disadvantage compared to many of our competitors in our efforts to obtain an operating business or assets necessary to commence our operations in a new field. Additionally, with the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic, many venture capital firms and similar firms and individuals have been seeking to acquire businesses at discounted rates, and we therefore currently face additional competition and resultant difficulty obtaining a business. We expect these conditions to persist at least until such time as the economy recovers. Further, even if we are successful in obtaining a business or assets for new operations, we expect there to be enhanced barriers to entry in the marketplace in which we decide to operate as a result of reduced demand and/or increased raw material costs caused by the pandemic and other economic forces that are beyond our control.
Regulation
As of the date of this Report, we are required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).
Depending on the direction management decides to take and a business or businesses we may acquire in the future, we may become subject to other laws or regulations that require us to make material expenditures on compliance including the increasing state level regulation of privacy. Any such requirements could require us to divert significant human and capital resources on compliance, which could have an adverse effect on our future operating results.
Employees
As of the date of this Report, we do not have employees. However our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Information Officer provide part-time consulting services to us with deferred compensation fees.
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.
None.
The Company’s principal business and corporate address is 30 North Gould Street, Sheridan, WY 82801.
We currently are not a party to any material litigation or other material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information under this item.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS
The Company has no operations or revenue as of October 31, 2022. We are currently in the process of developing a business plan. Management intends to explore and identify viable business opportunities within the U.S. including seeking to acquire a business in a reverse merger. Our ability to effectively identify, develop and implement a viable plan for our business may be hindered by risks and uncertainties which are beyond our control, including without limitation, the continued negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the U.S. and global economies. The Company has signed a Binding Letter of Intent and Deal Terms with a technology company to acquire some of their IP and technology assets together with limited liabilities. The Company continues to explore other acquisitions to further strengthen their ability to provide shareholder value and has begun operations. On December 13, 2022 the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the assets, software IP, and some liabilities of Core Business Holdings which is anticipated to be completed in the second fiscal quarter of 2023. This acquisition brings revenue and assets into the company to develop shareholder value. .For more information about the risk of Covid-19 on our business, see Item 1.A. - “Risk Factors”.
Plan of Operation
The Company has no operations from a continuing business other than the expenditures related to running the Company and has no revenue from continuing operations as of the date of this Report.
Management intends to explore and identify business opportunities within the U.S. and Europe, including a potential acquisition of an operating entity through a reverse merger, asset purchase or similar transaction. Our Chief Executive Officer has experience in business consulting, although no assurances can be given that he can identify and implement a viable business strategy or that any such strategy will result in profits. Our ability to effectively identify, develop and implement a viable plan for our business may be hindered by risks and uncertainties which are beyond our control, including without limitation, the continued negative effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the U.S. and global economies. For more information about the risk of coronavirus on our business, see Item 1A “Risk Factors.”

We have not engaged in any business activities that provided revenue or cash flow. During the next 12-month period we anticipate incurring costs in connection with investigating, evaluating, and negotiating potential business combinations, filing SEC reports, and consummating an acquisition of an operating business. The Company has entered into an acquisition agreement acquiring the technology, IP and assets of Core Business Holdings which will bring significant assets and potential revenues for the company.
Given our limited capital resources, we may consider a business combination with an entity which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company or is otherwise in need of additional funds for the development of new products or services or expansion into new markets, or is an established business experiencing financial or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. Alternatively, a business combination may involve the acquisition of, or merger with, an entity which desires access to the U.S. capital markets.
As of the date of this Report, our management has had discussions with representatives of many other entity regarding a potential business combination. These negotiations have led the Company to enter into a Binding Letter of Intent and Deal Terms for the acquisition of certain IP and technologies together with some liabilities for the purpose of expanding operations and bringing further value to its shareholders Any target business that is selected may be financially unstable or in the early stages of development. In such event, we expect to be subject to numerous risks inherent in the business and operations of a financially unstable or early-stage entity. In addition, we may effect a business combination with an entity in an industry characterized by a high level of risk or in which our management has limited experience, and, although our management will endeavor to evaluate the risks inherent in a particular target business, there can be no assurance that we will properly ascertain or assess all significant risks.
Our management anticipates that we will likely only be able to effect one business combination due to our limited capital. This lack of diversification will likely pose a substantial risk in investing in the Company for the indefinite future because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture or operating territory against gains from another. The risks we face will likely be heightened to the extent we acquire a business operating in a single industry or geographical region.
We anticipate that the selection of a business combination will be a complex and risk-prone process. Because of general economic conditions, including unfavorable conditions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, rapid technological advances being made in some industries and shortages of available capital, management believes that there are a number of firms seeking business opportunities at this time at discounted rates with which we will compete. We expect that any potentially available business combinations may appear in a variety of different industries or regions and at various stages of development, all of which will likely render the task of comparative investigation and analysis of such business opportunities extremely difficult and complicated. Once we have developed and begun to implement our business plan, management intends to fund our working capital requirements through a combination of our existing funds and future issuances of debt or equity securities. Our working capital requirements are expected to increase in line with the implementation of a business plan and commencement of operations.
Based upon our current operations, we do not have sufficient working capital to fund our operations over the next 12 months. If we are able to close a reverse merger, it is likely we will need capital as a condition of closing that acquisition. Because of the uncertainties, we cannot be certain as to how much capital we need to raise or the type of securities we will be required to issue. In connection with a reverse merger, we will be required to issue a controlling block of our securities to the target’s shareholders which will be very dilutive.
Additional issuances of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our current shareholders. Further, such securities might have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to our Common Stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of prospective new business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict our business operations.

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next 12 months, principally costs related to our being obligated to file reports with the SEC. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model, recognition of revenue sources, and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, develop, implement, and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
COVID-19 Update
To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on the Company, particularly due to our current lack of operations. The pandemic may, however, have an impact on our ability to evaluate and acquire an operating entity through a reverse merger or otherwise. See Item 1A “Risk Factors” for more information.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of the date of this Report, we do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Going Concern
The independent registered public accounting firm auditors’ report accompanying our October 31, 2022 financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared “assuming that we will continue as a going concern,” which contemplates that we will realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the shareholders and the board of directors of Arax Holdings Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Arax Holdings Corp. as of October 31, 2022 and 2021, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of October 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a significant accumulated deficit. In addition, the Company continues to experience negative cash flows from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

ARAX HOLDINGS CORP.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
i
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Arax Holdings Corp. (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of i Nevada on i February 23, 2012 with a business plan to sell hot dogs from mobile hot dog stands throughout the major cities in Mexico. As of the filing of the 10K for 2016, the Company stated that it was re-evaluating its business plan.
It was further indicated as possible that a new business model could be related to a new business sector other than the food sector, and that any new business model could entail a capital restructuring of the Company in order to provide new capital and a broader base of shareholders. Such a capital restructuring of the Company could involve a merger or acquisition of assets through various techniques, including a possible reverse-merger. On October 31, 2016 management believed that the best business model for our investors is to pursue business activity in the Life Sciences sector of the United States and possibly internationally.
The Company had been dormant from September 28, 2017 to October 31, 2020.
On December 30, 2020, as a result of a custodianship in Clark County, Nevada, Case Number: A-20-825346-B, Custodian Ventures LLC (“Custodian”) was appointed custodian of the Company. On the same date, Custodian appointed David Lazar as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors.
On June 24, 2021, as a result of a private transaction, shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $ par value per share (the “Shares”) of Arax Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), were transferred from Custodian Ventures, LLC to Michael Pieter Loubser (the “Purchaser”). As a result, the Purchaser became an approximately i 90.6% holder of the voting rights of the issued and outstanding share capital of the Company on a fully-diluted basis of the Company, and became the controlling shareholder. In connection with the transaction, David Lazar released the Company from all debts owed to him and/or Custodian Ventures, LLC.
On June 24, 2021, the existing director and officer resigned immediately. Accordingly, David Lazar, serving as a director and an officer, ceased to be the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, President, Treasurer, Secretary and a Director. At the effective date of the transfer, Michael Pieter Loubser consented to act as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, Ockert Cornelius Loubser consented to act as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Rastislav Vašička consented to act as the new Chief Information Officer of the Company.
On August 31st, 2021, the Company appointed Christopher D. Strachan as its Chief Financial Officer. The Company began a transition into a software and technology holding company, negotiating agreements with various technology companies in Europe to acquire some of their related assets. The Company has removed the shell status and has commenced operations. As of the date of this Report, our management has had discussions with representatives of many other entity regarding a potential business combination. These negotiations have led the Company to enter into a Binding Letter of Intent and Deal Terms for the acquisition of certain IP and technologies together with some liabilities for the purpose of expanding operations and bringing further value to shareholders

The Company has no employment contracts with any of its officers.
COVID-19
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic. In addition to the devastating effects on human life, the pandemic is having a negative ripple effect on the global economy, leading to disruptions and volatility in the global financial markets. Most US states and many countries have issued policies intended to stop or slow the further spread of the disease.
Covid-19 and the U.S’s response to the pandemic are significantly affecting the economy. There are no comparable events that provide guidance as to the effect the Covid-19 pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate effect of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the effects on the economy, the markets we serve, our business, or our operations.
/i
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
i
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) “FASB Accounting Standard Codification™” (the “Codification”) which is the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States.
i
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the twelve months following the date of these financial statements. The Company has incurred operating losses since its inception. As of October 31, 2021, the Company had a working capital deficit of $ i 26,012 and an accumulated deficit of $ i 730,393.
Because the Company does not expect that existing operational cash flow will be sufficient to fund presently anticipated operations, this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional funds and is currently exploring alternative sources of financing. The Company is currently being funded by a company related to Michael Pieter Loubser. The Company will be required to continue to rely on this entity until its operations become profitable.
/i
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The most significant estimates relate to income taxes and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known or expected trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable given the quality of information available as of the date of these financial statements. The results of these assumptions provide the basis for making estimates about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
i
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has i no cash equivalents.
/C:
F-8
i
The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. FASB ASC 740-10-05, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities.
The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company assesses the validity of its conclusions regarding uncertain tax positions quarterly to determine if facts or circumstances have arisen that might cause it to change its judgment regarding the likelihood of a tax position’s sustainability under audit.
i
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method following the guidance outlined in Section 718-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosure about Stock-Based Compensation. This section requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award- the requisite service period (usually the vesting period). No compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service.
i
Net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period as defined by Financial Accounting Standards, ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. The Company has and shares issuable upon the conversion of preferred stock that were not included in the computation of dilutive loss per share because their inclusion is antidilutive for the years ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Common Stock
The Company has authorized shares of $ par value, common stock. As of October 31, 2022 and 2021 there were shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Preferred Stock
On March 31, 2021 the Company took a corporate action and authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a par value of $. These shares which are convertible into common stock on a i 10 for 1 basis, were awarded to Custodian Ventures managed by David Lazar in recognition of importance of Mr. Lazar ’s experience and expertise in devising a strategic plan to enable the Company to become a viable operating entity, and the fact that Mr. Lazar has provided the Company with its only source of liquidity via interest-free loans. These shares of Series A Preferred Stock in return for a reduction of $ i 16,166 on Mr. Lazar’s loan of $ i 21,941 due from the Company.
C:
F-9
Due to the thinly traded nature of the Company’s stock and its status as a “shell”, the Company used the par value of the common stock which was determined to be $ i 100,000 to value this issuance and recorded $ i 16,166 for repayment of the loan and $ as share-based compensation in the Company’s Statements of Operations.
On June 24, 2021, as a result of a private transaction, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock were transferred from Custodian Ventures, LLC to Michael Pieter Loubser.
No transactions were recorded for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022
Liquidation Preference

Unless the Corporation can establish a different Original Issue Price in connection with a particular sale of Series A Preferred Stock, the Original Issue Price shall be $0.001per share for the Series A Preferred Stock. If, upon the occurrence of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, subject to the rights of any existing series of Preferred Stock or to the rights of any series Arax Holdings Corp.

SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK.
On behalf of Arax Holdings Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), the undersigned hereby certifies that the following resolution has been duly adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”): RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the Board by the provisions of the articles of incorporation of the Corporation (the “Articles of Incorporation”), there hereby is created, out of the Ten Million (10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Corporation authorized by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation (“Preferred Stock”), Series A Preferred Stock, consisting of Ten Million (10,000,000) shares, which series shall have the following powers, designations, preferences and relative participating, optional and other special rights, and the following qualifications, limitations and restrictions: of Preferred Stock which may from time to time hereafter come into existence, the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the each series of Preferred Stock in proportion to the preferential amount each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive.
(b) Upon the completion of the distribution required by Section 2(a) above and any other distribution that may be required with respect to the rights of any existing series of Preferred Stock or to the rights of any series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time hereafter come into existence, if assets remain in the Corporation, the remaining assets shall be distributed to the holders of the Common Stock until such time as the holders of the Common stock shall have received a return of the capital originally contributed thereby. Thereafter, if assets remain in the Corporation, all remaining assets shall be distributed to all holders of Common Stock and to each series of Preferred Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming conversion of all such Preferred Stock into Common Stock).
(c) For purposes of this Section 2, a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation shall be deemed to be occasioned by, or to include, (i) the acquisition of the Corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation, but excluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Corporation); or (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, unless the Corporation’s stockholders of record as constituted immediately prior to such acquisition or sale will, immediately after such acquisition or sale (by virtue of securities issued as consideration for the Corporation’s acquisition or sale or otherwise) hold at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the surviving or acquiring entity in approximately the same relative percentages after such acquisition or sale as before such acquisition or sale.
(d) In any of the events specified in (c) above, if the consideration received by the corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:

(B) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the thirty-day period ending three (3) days prior to the closing; and
(C) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
(ii) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (i) (A), (B) or (C) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by the Corporation and the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.
C:

(iv) The Corporation shall give each holder of record of Series A Preferred Stock written notice of such impending transaction not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
| ● | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; | |
| ● | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and | |
| ● | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the parameters set forth above and has concluded that as of October 31, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles as a result of the following material weaknesses:
| ● | The Company does not have sufficient segregation of duties within accounting functions due to its limited staff and limited resources. | |
| ● | The Company does not have an independent board of directors or an audit committee. | |
| ● | The Company does not have written documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. |
C:
6
| ● | All of the Company’s financial reporting is carried out by a financial consultant. |
We plan to rectify these weaknesses by implementing an independent board of directors, establishing written policies and procedures for our internal control of financial reporting, and hiring additional accounting personnel at such time as we complete a reverse merger or similar business acquisition.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended October 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
